Does GridDataControl support cutomized right click menu?

[sgonline]

Hi there,

I'm now doing something to bind a datatable to the GridDataControl, and I want to achieve the functionality that when I right click on a certain row of the grid control, a context menu will pop up and the user could select the entries to perform the according actions.

Is it possible to have that customizez context menu and their viewmodel in the grid?

Thank you very much.

So I have two follow up questions on this post:

1) In multi-row selection mode, how do we prevent the right-click from changing the visible selection?

2) How do we detect that the right-click occurs only in the data area and not the header row or blank are below the data rows?

In the sample code provided in the post above, the following line of code is provided in an attempt to detect that the proper area has been clicked in. However, this code does not allow for detecting that a header row has been clicked and when clicking in the white space the last data row is used to popualte rci.

RowColumnIndex rci = dataGrid.Model.Grid.PointToCellRowColumnIndex(e.GetPosition(this.dataGrid));

Hi John,

Thanks for your patience.

1. We have an issue in this, when the multi selection is done and then by right clicking on the selected are it deselects. For this we request you to post an Incident in the Direct-Trac, we will surly update you with the solution.

2. To check whether the right click is done in the data cell or in the header cell, we have to check with the CellType. Through that the action can be performed.

Please refer the code snippet and sample from the following.

[Code Snippet]
RowColumnIndex rci = dataGrid.Model.Grid.PointToCellRowColumnIndex(e);
if (!rci.IsEmpty && this.dataGrid.Model[rci.RowIndex,rci.ColumnIndex].CellType=="TextBox")
{
}
